Like many who saw the new movie Gravity, I was curious how much of what happens in the big-budget thriller could happen in real life.
Fortunately, astronaut and Eagle Scout Scott Parazynski did the fact-checking for us.

Don’t click if you haven’t seen the film, because it does include some spoilers. But it’s worth your time if you saw Gravity and have an interest in space exploration.
By the way, the image above is cropped from the March 1966 cover of Scouting magazine. See the full cover after the jump.
